Tuning Panda Alessi 2007-wheel trims

[Bunx]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and looking forward to meeting Fiat Panda Alessi owners so we can exchange knowledge and ideas.

I would like to ask if anyone has any idea on where to purchase the original wheel trims for the car (new or used, see below image), as I am having difficulties finding those anywhere?

Looking forward on further cooperation,

Rgds,

These things are very rare. They were unique to the Alessi, and with limited numbers made, spare parts were scarce when new. In the UK, I understand that there were less than 100 Alessis registered. As they die, breakers are unlikely to keep wheeltrims on the shelf, as demand is low, so they get binned.

In the UK, the vehicles were limited, to the early part of 2006.
The parts listing shows a change of colour, in May 2007, so perhaps some were made later. A Google search of the early part number finds nothing.
Early part: 735413325 Ice White
Later part: 735457078 Hot White

The valve cover was not available separately.

I think the only chance of a replacement might be a scan and 3D print, if the material used will cope with the flexing.

There were a number of Fiats with 13" wheels that used flat trims. Maybe a set of those, painted white, would at least make all four the same.

Might be worth asking at a fiat dealership

Someone wants £80 but no photo, I guessing that's new ?

Thanks, mate, will check for 3D printing options, as I do not have any such experience.
